Automatic Awnings
Automatic Awnings are also called “Auto Roll up Awnings” (spring loaded) window awnings have been around for as long as the sun has been shining on our homes. Automatic Awnings are the perfect choice for close fitting to windows on the ground floor or onto a balcony due to its minimal projection.
The close-fitting design of the versatile and attractive Automatic Awning makes it an excellent choice for ground floor windows, offering the benefits of optimum privacy and sun protection. Easy function, self-locking arms enable simple shade adjustment, and when the sun goes down, the awning may be rolled away neatly into the head box.

Internal Tape Control Awnings
